Flash Training

Last week we had Flash training. This was great training as we covered alot of the basics. We were taught how to do motion tweening and shape tweening. We also learning about buttons, movie clips and graphics. It is important when creating a flash movie that you don't generally draw straight onto the stage. One of the times you can do this is to create a mask. However, you generally create a graphic for a still image, a movie clip if you want to apply tweening etc, and a button speaks for itself.

We also created a basic flash photo gallery using actionscript controlling the movie. I also enjoyed creating a MP3 player, using actionscript to show the position and duration of the song.

Here is a motion tween I created, with the car following a motion path:
